Prevas is a Swedish technical-consultancy and product-development firm specialising in industrial IT, embedded systems and digitalisation for industry. Adjusted ROIC of ~8% only matches the 8% WACC, leaving thin economic profit (+SEK 2M) — a people-based consultancy whose returns depend on utilisation.
The equity at SEK 79 embeds ~7% perpetual growth (reverse-DCF, ~23% below). Niche expertise in industrial digitalisation is the support; thin returns and consultancy cyclicality are the cautions.
Reverse-DCF fair value runs SEK 60–62 across scenarios — below the SEK 79 price (~7% implied growth). Full for a thin-return consultancy; utilisation and M&A are the swing factors.
Base SEK 78 (−2%); bull SEK 95 (utilisation/pricing + industrial-digitalisation demand); bear SEK 60 (a consultancy/industrial slowdown).
At today’s enterprise value the constant-ROIC reverse-DCF maxes out: even at its sustainable-growth ceiling (~7.8%, limited by ROIC 8% ≈ WACC 8%) it cannot reach the current EV. No-growth value is SEK 60/share (76% of price); the market prices in growth and/or a higher ROIC than booked — richly valued on this lens. Read the sensitivity grid.
